AM: What's the maximum frequency a boot camp workout should be performed? Could someone do this three, four, five, six times a week? SSG Sarvis: In Basic Combat Training, soldiers usually conduct workouts five to six days a week, alternating muscular strength or endurance days and aerobic or anaerobic endurance days (cardio).

AM: When performed correctly and good nutrition is followed, what would you say are the typical results that can be achieved with this Army workout plan? SSG Sarvis: In the Army, we have already seen soldiers scoring significantly higher on their PT tests, which includes the two-mile run, two-minute sit-ups, two-minute push-ups. For soldiers recently entering the Army, many typically lose body fat and would attest that after 10 weeks of the program, they are in the best shape of their lives.

AM: Will this program work for both those who are looking to build muscle mass and those who are looking to lean down?SSG Sarvis: Absolutely. This program is appropriate for various levels of fitness. We have a wide range of new soldiers entering our Army every day. Some are star athletes from their high school football teams, and some have never exercised a day in their life. This program is for everyone. If executed correctly, soldiers lose weight when they have a little extra and gain weight if they were a little scrawny to begin with. Overall, soldiers build lean muscle mass while becoming more fit.

Below you'll find a series of workouts. The core workout can be performed at any time throughout the week, and the conditioning drills should be performed on a day-on/day-off type of sequence. Perform 15 to 20 reps of each exercise in the conditioning drill before immediately moving to the next movement. Once the entire drill sequence is finished, rest for 1-2 minutes and then repeat a second and possibly third time through. Note that due to the number of exercises involved, the third drill will be your toughest challenge.
